@ANY RIOT DEV AT ALL(or any Rioters who will help bring up this discussion)

Sorry for the all caps but so rarely to do I get noticed on the boards I felt it might help?

Anyways I'm not here to talk about Damage creep, cutting game times and depriving the game of the thrill of games pre agility cloaks removal

I'm here; 88k mastery in Yasuo aside (I use him like a stress ball because people expect you to feed on him) as a Support main who is concerned by the things you seem to think of as "okay". I'm not gonna complain about Brand, or Xerath, or Veigar, or heimerdinger, or ziggs, Vlad, or the other absolutely oppressive things that have made their way into my lane. I'm fine with attempting to adapt to something new. But as a SUPPORT main it shouldn't feel like a punishment to have an actual marksman as your lane partner. It shouldn't feel like you have 0 impact on a games outcome 60% of the time. It shouldn't feel like you've lost lane because one ability hit you and now you have to stay behind tower because you can't make money without getting blown up.

Now I know you love money and that's great, but if you make more players quit you don't make money, do you? Making the game shorter so snowballing is the only way is honestly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time. I used to have fun even when we lost because it always felt like if you worked together you could always make a comeback. Now though it's all about kill kill kill kill and kill faster, WHICH YOU LITERALLY SAID YOU WERE REWORKING AKALI SO SHE WOULDN'T BE RELIANT ON SNOWBALLING. Counter productive much?

I can say bringing agility cloak back would be great, (because it would) but I'll stay focused on the Support items....

THEY BETTER GIMME GOLD FOR EVERYTHING I DO BECAUSE I CAN'T ENTER MY LANE WITH A ZIGGS AND A DONGER THERE THROWING SPELLS AT ANYTHING THAT MOVES (Sarcasm of course) But the point is health and regen only is terrible Put some value in our items Some RESISTANCES, adaptive damage, more ways to get quest gold, more support items I could go on but I've already made a post about that

So if any Rioters read this tell all your Rioters buddies, cuz this stuff ain't alright like hello? Turn off auto pilot GO THROUGH THE BOARDS and see what you've done. Then FIX IT and come back with a solution not more ( how far can I push damage numbers before the player base completely blows a blood vessel) And if you actually do care about your community, and the wonderful game you had created, then you will do these things without complaint because it's the right thing to do.

Anyway if any Rioter does read this thanks for your time, and if you do actually make a positive change to my precious bot lane thanks even more. Feel free to comment if you want to discuss it or have any questions you'd like to ask on the matter.
